I swapped the battery in my '02 this weekend and found a spring loaded disk at the center of the battery tray that appears to be connected to the wiring harness. Any idea what it might be for? |

I found mine when installing a lift. I believe it is a temp device just in case the battery gets hot. KJKev |

On the Xj that is part of the cold weather package, I belive it to be a battery temp sensor. (ninja edit) |

That's cool to know, I've never seen that on any other vehicles. I don't often pull out batteries for the heck of it though... |

Thanks, I looked into the temp sensor some more. It appears to also signal the computer to switch some of the emissions sensors on and off in cold conditions (20F I believe). Not sure why. Ya learn something every day
